Event Description

2023 BC Economic Summit: Creating the WOW Factor

April 16th to 19th, 2023
Penticton Trade and Convention Centre
Penticton, BC

The BC Economic Development Association (BCEDA) is pleased to announce to our members, non-member and partners that after a two-year hiatus due to the global pandemic, the BC Economic Summit is coming back as an in-person event. Thanks to the generous support of the City of Penticton, the 2023 BC Economic Summit will be held at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre in Penticton, BC, from April 16th to 18th, 2023. The theme of the 2023 Summit is tentatively “Creating the WOW Factor”.

The 2023 BC Economic Summit will be packed with valuable technical presentations, a solutions-focused exhibit hall, networking opportunities, and exciting activities. If you are involved in Economic Development in any capacity in BC, you will not want to miss this “reunion” as it will include all your favourite Summit activities, plus a few new surprises.   

The 2023 BC Economic Summit will bring together Economic Developers, Indigenous Leaders, Local Government Leaders, Administration, Community Futures, Chambers and Boards of Trade, the Private Sector, and more to discuss issues important to address for our local, regional, and provincial economy.

This will be the first BC Economic Summit held in BC’s South Okanagan in the past 14 years and the first one held in that time frame outside of a major urban Centre. We are excited to bring to Penticton the energy and enthusiasm that BCEDA BC Economic Summit attendees are known for when gathering to talk about the BC Economy.
Registration and Partner and Exhibitor information will be made available in the coming months. Make sure you sign up for the BCEDA newsletter to be kept informed of the agenda, special events, and more as we plan to “Wow” you.
